Dra. Raquel González Vázquez studied Food Chemistry at the Faculty of Chemistry of the UNAM, as a degree project she extracted natural metabolites from endemic plants in Mexico with herbicidal activity from which she generated 3 scientific research articles published in JCR magazines (DOI: 10.1021/jf051897s; DOI: 10.1016/j.abb.2007.05.002 ; https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-39449120718&partnerID=40&md5=6dc9f5f76773560defbc7777730dc73f ).
She also studied a degree in Biological Pharmacist Chemist at the Universidad Atuonoma Metropolitana, Xochimilco Campus.
Later she entered the Master of Science in Food at the National Polytechnic Institute - National School of Biological Sciences where she developed a project whose objective was to produce the enzyme Naringinase from a fungus that commonly grows in food (Aspergillus Niger). (http://www.scielo.org.mx/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S1665-27382011000100001&lng=es&nrm=iso>. ISSN 1665-2738). Naringinase is an enzyme of interest to the food industry, particularly the juice industry, since it is responsible for hydrolyzing the flavonoids that give bitterness to citrus fruit juices, so after its enzymatic activity it is expected to obtain citrus juices without bitterness, from this project she obtained a research article published in a JCR magazine.
She completed her PhD studies in Biotechnology at the National Polytechnic Institute - National School of Biological Sciences, from where she obtained three scientific research articles published in JCR journals with impact factor related with isolated bacteria from pulque (http://www.scielo.org.mx/scielo .php? script = sci_arttext & pid = s1665-27382014000100015 & lng = es & nrm = iso>. ISSN 1665-2738; doi: doi 10.1007/S10068-017-0061-Y; DOI: 10.1007/S12602-015-9202-X).
Later she did a postdoctoral stay at the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, Xochimilco Campus where she trained two Master's students in pharmaceutical sciences and several undergraduate students, they obtained various scientific research articles (1.- https://docslib.org/doc/805104/redalyc -bioencapsulation-of-bifidobacterium-animalis-and; 2.- DOI: 10.3109/09637486.2016.1162770; 3.- DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.22201/fesi.20071523e.2019.1.495; 4.- DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.22201/fesi.20071523e.2019.1)
Currently and since 2016 she obtained a CONAHCYT Professorship and she is assigned to the Xochimilco Campus, where she develops the project "Study of the intestinal microbiota, its relationship with obesity and isolation of new probiotics" and from which she has produced various articles (DOI: http ://dx.doi.org/10.20960/nh.1894 ; DOI: 10.2427/uam/izt/dcbi/revmexingquim/2018v17n2/Olivarez ; DOI: https:10.3390/immuno1040034 ; DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms10071389 ; DOI: 1 0.3390/microorganisms10112100 DOI: 10.3390/pathogens12050634
DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms11071648 ; DOI: 10.3390/ijms25021257 ), in addition to directing various social services and being co-director of a PhD student in chemical biological sciences who will graduate this year and starting to advise another PhD student in Pharmaceutical Sciences and continuing with the training of human resources undergraduate, postgraduate and with the dissemination and dissemination of science.
She currently belongs to the National System of Level 1 Researchers.
